about: R&D
This project started from a chance encounter at a music festival in a stone barn in Devon.
Inspired by the ability of musicians who have never met before to go into a room and jam instantly, we decided we would meet up in a space the following week.
The only preparation would be to bring in a theme and a beginning exercise. We had no idea if, or where, the work would develop from that starting point.
In keeping with the themes of connection:disconnection, we have decided to document the development process of this piece. The videos are, mostly, un-edited snippets of the improvisations that we conduct throughout each day.
